Yes they are working nicely and all issues have been corrected now .

H7 - philips Diamond vision seems to the choice
HID - Morrimot's kit seems to be the choice .

You guys are correct , it needs to be pinned now at the start .
So the HID's would replace the projector bulbs and the H7's are for the low beams?

Are the bulbs that come with it really bad and that's why people switch them out?

Unfortunately in usa they don't have self levelling headlighs
It's only in Europe, so they don't have levelling switch either next light switch
I've got same DEPO headlights and I'm getting same error
And I've checked DEPO headlight and there is no place where you can fit a
Motor which you taken out from the old halogen headlights
So at the moment there is no solution for this error
But other sellers noticed that they got motors included but that might be
Different brand

Yeah, Erick@USR didn't help me at all. It wasn't my installers fault. He told me that he would delete the code off the car so it would never come back on. Also, he said they put the cheapest kit inside the lights and recommended that I change it. I didn't think much of it, two months later after he told me that they go out. I changed it four months ago, and haven't had a problem since.

The projectors are the low beams. You would replace the low beams with HIDs if you want superior lighting; if not, you would use an H7 halogen bulb.

The high beam is in a reflector housing and should not be replaced with HIDs

I agree with MONSTAR, lights are a great addition to the car and I still am giddy every time I see the reflection in another car or when I walk up to the car and see the angel eyes on. You won't regret it

Would it be difficult to upgrade to HID's after the headlights are installed?

Way easier to install the HID kit when you have front bumper off and then headlight access is much easier.

I want to pull the plug on the 5500k morimotos..

Should I go with Amazon or the ones here https://www.theretrofitsource.com/h7...ect_restrict=1 ?

Also, anyone know if I need this with it?

OPTIONAL CAPACITOR LINK

What about this?

OPTIONAL CARBON BRACKETS

Are they good to go as they come or do I need any other brackets or anything else to keep in mind for installing with these headlights?

Appreciate the help in advance!

For $2200 you could get LCI LED Headlights which are super easy to install compared to retrofitting the HID ones. These are worth the $700-800, but not $2000.

That being said, I haven't installed mine yet. I just opened the box when I received them in July to make sure they were fine. I'm contemplating going for the $2200 LCI LED headlights if I could sell this unused set.
